Amerlcans Eat Roo ,1uch Beer.

4 large proportion Of our steadfast
people, who do not drink at all, ruin their
health by eating. A few years back
took dinner with an old French wine
merchant. He had four pints of wine
set out in the snow, for it was winter.
When it came to the Burgundy / turned
my glass down, saying that it went to
my feet. ''No," said the old man, 81
drink wine all my life. My father kept
a hotel in Switzerland before me. came
TO this country waiter at Delmonico's,
and now am a wine merchant. / have
never had the govt in my life, but / never
eat meat more than once day. The
Americans eat too much beef. 1t makes
too much blood for them, and that brings
on the govt"
"What do you eat?" said 1.
Il eat fish and chicken and birds; light
viands. l take veal in preference to beef,
as it has less blood in it.
Mr.. Bookwalter, of Ohio, who has been
a good deal abroad, some time ago re-
marked that he thought the intensity and
want of serenity and peacefulness In the
American nature was due to its carniv-
orous habits. Said he: II have been
studying for some time the natural his
tory of animals, and notice that those
animals which resemble the Americans
in their avidity, their leaping at business
or breakfast in the same way, are the
meat eaters. We are carnivorous peo-
pie; and if we confined ourselves more to
farinaceous food, herbs and oils and such
things as have been approved by antiq-
uity, we would be a happier race. y

John Randolph,s Court Presentation.

John kandolph'S court LIBERALIZATION.
John Randolph, of Roanoke, dressed
very eccentrically while he was at home,
and his dress during his mission TO Rus
STA was hardly more extravagant than
that he wore at Roanoke. In writing OF
it he SAYS: ''My dress ON presentation
to their imperial majesties was a suit OF
the finest black cloth that London could
afford; and with the exception of a steel
capped sword it was the dress of Mr..
Madison during the late convention. 1t
was ornamented with gold shoe and knee
buuS les, and Randolph says that he was
as well dressed as Prince Talleyrand, who
was presented at the same time.
Josiah Quincy visited Russia some
years after this, and in his life there Is
a story related concerning this presenta-
ton Of John Randolph. Says this au-
thority: when he was presented to
the empress she put out her hand and
Randolph went down on his knees to
take it. He wore, however, tight gaunt-
lets and he did not attempt to get these
off before he fell upon his knee. 1t was
contrary to etiquette to touch the lady s
bare hand with a gloved hand, and 1t
took him so long to get his tight glove OF
that her majesty smiled at his predica-
ment and the courtiers laughed out
aloud" Randolph soon took his leave
of Russia and returned to the United
States. Before he did so he had pleas
ant interview with the emperor, and he
made remark which it is said made the
empress laugh most vociferously. He
bowed himself out backward as he left,
and lit was lucky" said he, THAT ]
happened to be near the door. Prank

The Song of Birds.

To a certain extent we may take the
sounds uttered by birds and animals as
an index to their emotional condition.
If you hear 4 man humming an air as he
walks along, you conclude either that he
is lunatic or that he is happy. Spon-
taneous song, whether of birds, animals
or man, is possible only when the singer
is cheerful. A pianist may of deliberate
purpose play a set piece, but he will
never successfully improvise when he is
miserable. The song of our hedge
warblers, though it of course contains
inherited elements, is essentially an I'M
provisation; it is by no means necessary
to their existence or their perpetuation.
Developed at first as an adjunct to sexual
selection, it has been extended as the
highest exponent of pleasure of all kinds.
1t begins each year in the breeding
season, but it is by no means confined to
that season--Nineteenth Century.

The petroleum industry in the United
States dates from the "fifties,' the first
sale of American oil taking place in 1854,
but Abraham Schreiner, by documents
in the archives in Vienna, produced illu-
minating oil as early as 1853. He owned
a niece of land in Boryslaw, where, IN an
opening in the earth, he found black,
tar ike substance which the peasants
had used from time immemorial to heal
wounds and grease their wagon wheels.
Schreiner cot the idea that the fluid IN
the clay might be employed in other
WAYS. He kneaded bali from the
slime. stuck wick into it, and 1t burned
brightly with a red flame until the sub
stance was exhausted. This was the first
petroleum lamp.
Later. Schreiner heard something OF
distiIlation and determined to try few
experiments. He purchased huge kettle
and transformed it into distilling appa-
ratus as well as possible, filled 1t with the
black earth and placed it upon the ire
To accomplish the distillation. But that
happened more rapidly than he wished.
The petroleum exploded, the kettle was
broken into a thousand pieces, and
Schreiner's body was covered with scars.
Hardly recovered from his wounds, he
began his experiments again with a
proper apparatus, into the secrets OF
which an apothecary had introduced
him. Here he was crowned with better
success. he gained product which re-
sembled a strongly smelling oil, and pc
troleum was found. He filed a bottle
and sold it to a druggist in Dropobyez.
That was in the year 1858. Schreiner
was, therefore, not only the discoverer OF
petroleum, but the first who introduced
it into commerce. Cor. New York

Henry had caught her eye ana she had blushed
no rosy red, ] had seen that the incident had
not escaped this mans notice, and what is
more, that 1t was eminentsy disagreeahle to
hina, for he bit his lip and his hand frightened
on his sword hilt. Afterwards we learned
that he was an aspirant for the hand Of this
queen In marriage, which accounted for it.
This being so, Nyleptha could not have
appealed TO a worse person, for speak
ing in slow, heavy tones, he appeared TO con-
firm oil that the High Priest Agon said. As
he spoke, Sorais put her elbow on her knee,
and resting her chin on her hand, looked at
him w~h a suppressed smile upon her lips, rs
though she saw through the man, and was de-
termined TO be his match but Nyleptha grew
very angry Her cheek flushed, her eyes
flashed, and she did indeed look lovely. Finally
she turned to Agon and seemed to give some
sort of qualified assent, for he bowed at her
words; ard as she spoke she moved her hands
as though TO emphasize her words; while all
the time Sorais kept her chin on her hand
and smiled. Then suddenly Nyleptha made
a sign and the trumpets blew again, and
everybody rose to leave the hall save our
selves and the guards, whom she motioned 10
stay.
When they were all gone she bent forward
and, smiling sweetlv, partially by signs and
partly by EXCAVATIONS, made 1t clear to "
that she was very anxious to know where We
came from. The difficulty was how to cx
plain, but at last an idea struck me. / HAD
my large pocket book in my pocket and a
pencil. Taking it out, made little sketch
Of lake, and then as best could, drew the
underground river and the lake ut the other
end. When had done this advanced to
the steps Of tho throne AMI give II to her.
She understood IL at once and clapped her
hands with delight, and then descending
from the throne took 1t to her sister Sorais,
who also evidently understood, Next size
took the pencil from me, and after examining
it with curiosity, proceeded to make a series
OF delightful little sketches, the frs repre-
senting herself holding out both hands in
welcome, and a man uncommonly like Sir
Henry taking them. Next she drew lovely
little picture Of hippopotamus rolling about
dying in the water, and of an individual, in
whom We had no difficulty In recognizing
Agon. the high priest, holding up his hands in
horror on the bank. Then followed a most
alarming picture OF dreadful fiery furnace
and Of the same figure, Agon, poking us into
It with forked stick. This picture perfectly
Mortified me, but / was little treasured
